How Should Candidates Handle the “Faith & Religion” Issue?
It comes as no surprise that during the Value Voters Summit this weekend the issue of a candidate’s personal religion was brought up. This is nothing new. As you may recall, Mitt Romney had to address his Mormon faith during the 2008 Republican primary. Whether he likes it or not, he’s getting another shot this go around too.
After introducing Texas Gov. Rick Perry at the conference Friday, Ron Jeffers, a Southern Baptist pastor, called Mormonism, a “cult” in an interview with reporters later in the day.
To say it created a bit of controversy is an understatement.
I’m not going to go […]
Gibson Guitars CEO Talks Government Overreach, Tea Party
If you live in Tennessee you’ve probably heard of the government raid on Nashville based Gibson Guitars. It’s also received significant coverage nationally.
Napp Nazworth, one of our reporters at The Christian Post interviewed the CEO of Gibson, Henry Juszkiewicz, and talked with him about the severe overreach of the government and the temporary shutdown of the esteemed instrument maker. He also talks about being the hero of the Tea Party.

Two-Part Interview with Best-Selling Author Nancy French
One of the fun parts of my duties at The Christian Post is getting to interview interesting people. Several months ago a friend of mine mentioned her sister was a writer and was working on “sort of big project.” A few months later I read where that same sister was the co-author of Bristol Palin’s memoir, Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far.
Not bad for a girl from Paris, Tennessee – not bad at all.
What I found more intriguing in the brief time I spent with Nancy French was how she and her husband David met and married. Also, […]
Pete Wilson, Teens Want Authenticity, Not Religion
On Monday night I had the chance to hear one of the nations brightest young pastors speak at the LifeWay National Youth Workers Conference in downtown Nashville.
Pete Wilson is the senior pastor at Cross Point Church in Nashville and like David Platt and Francis Chan, he delivers the message of Christ love in an effective, yet easy to understand way.
Covering Church & Ministry for The Christian Post took me a bit out of my element, but I was blessed to hear Pete’s message. I had the opportunity to meet him over breakfast a few months ago and he’s as genuine […]
Do you remember where you were on the morning of 9/11?
As a child I remember my parents and other adults speak of what they were doing the moment they heard that President Kennedy had been shot. In what was still the infancy of television news, Walter Cronkite announced to a stunned nation that President Kennedy died in a Dallas Hospital early in the afternoon of a crisp November day. Radio announcers reached millions more with the news. The moment of generation would forever remember is the morning of September 11, 2001.
Similar to the weather in New York City, the morning that day was bright and beautiful in Memphis, […]
